Demoney Elementary is one of more than 200 schools throughout the Midwest that are receiving the innovative technology tools this year through Hy-Vee's SMART Points promotion, which ran from Sept.. 1 through Dec. 30.

During the promotional period, shoppers who purchased Procter & Gamble products at Hy-Vee earned points that could be designated to the schools of their choice. Demoney achieved the highest average points score in its region to earn the SMART Board.

In addition, the person who earned the most points designated on his or her behalf received a 16GB iPad tablet during Tuesday's presentation.
